Me nā ʻaha mele a me nā hoʻomanaʻo i ka Pōʻakahi, e hoʻolauleʻa ai nā Kelemania i ka lā i hāʻule ai ka Wall Berlin i 20 mau makahiki i hala. I kēlā pō anuanu, ua hula lākou ma luna o ka pā, hāpai nā lima i ka lanakila, puʻupuʻu nā lima i ka hoaloha a me ka manaʻolana. Ua hoʻoheheʻe ʻia nā makahiki o ka kaʻawale ʻana a me ka hopohopo i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻole o ke kūʻokoʻa a me ka wā e hiki mai ana me ka ʻole o nā kiaʻi palena, nā mākaʻi huna, nā mea hoʻolaha, a me ka mana koʻikoʻi komunist.
Ke hoʻolauleʻa nei nā Kelemania me nā ʻahamele e kaena ana iā Beethoven a me Bon Jovi; he hana hoʻomanaʻo no ka poʻe 136 i pepehi ʻia e hoʻāʻo ana e hele ma kēlā ʻaoʻao mai 1961 a i 1989; kukui kukui; a me 1,000 kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe domino huʻihuʻi e hoʻonoho ʻia ma ke ala o ka pā a huli ʻia.
Ma ka lā 9 o Nowemapa, 1989, ua hele nui mai nā Kelemania hikina, e holo ana i kā lākou Trabants, kaʻa kaʻa, a me nā kaʻa kaʻa. He mau haneli, a laila mau tausani, a laila haneli haneli i hala i nā lā aʻe.
Ua wehe ʻia nā hale kūʻai ma Berlin komohana i ka pō, a hāʻawi nā panakō i 100 Deutschemarks i "kālā hoʻokipa," a laila ʻoi aku ka waiwai ma kahi o US $50, i kēlā me kēia malihini Kelemania hikina.
ʻEhā lā ka lōʻihi o ka pāʻina a ma ka lā 12 o Nowemapa, ua ʻoi aku ma mua o 3 miliona o ka hikina Kelemania he 16.6 miliona mau kānaka i kipa aku, kokoke i ka hapakolu o lākou i ke komohana ʻo Berlin, ʻo ke koena ma nā puka e wehe ana ma ke koena o ka pā, i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i ka palena i ʻoki i ko lākou ʻāina i ʻelua.
Ua huki ʻia nā ʻāpana o ka pā kokoke i 155 kilomika (100 mau mile) i lalo a hoʻohina. Ua ʻoki ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi i nā ʻāpana e mālama ʻia i mea hoʻomanaʻo. Ua hui hou nā ʻohana waimaka. Hāʻawi nā bar i nā mea inu manuahi. Honi a honi nā malihini me ka champagne.
ʻO Klaus-Hubert Fugger, he haumāna ma ke Kulanui Free ma West Berlin, e inu ana i kahi hale inu i ka wā i hoʻomaka ai ka poʻe e hele mai "he ʻano ʻokoʻa ke ʻano."
Kūʻai nā mea kūʻai i nā malihini i kēlā me kēia pōʻai. Ma ke aumoe, ma kahi o ka hoʻi ʻana i ka home, ua lawe ʻo Fugger a me ʻekolu mau mea ʻē aʻe i kaʻa kaʻa i ka ʻīpuka ʻo Brandenburg, he ʻāina ʻaʻohe kanaka lōʻihi, a piʻi i ka pā 12-kapuaʻi (kokoke ʻehā mika) me nā haneli ʻē aʻe.
"Ua like maoli ka nui o nā hiʻohiʻona, e like me ka poʻe e uē ana, no ka mea ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke kiʻi i ke kūlana," wahi a Fugger, i kēia manawa 43. "He nui ka poʻe i hele mai me nā ʻōmole" o ka champagne a me ka waina ʻulaʻula Kelemania.
Ua noho ʻo Fugger i ka pō aʻe ma luna o ka pā. Hōʻike ʻia kahi kiʻi newsmagazine iā ia i ʻōwili ʻia i kahi scarf.
"A laila ua piha ka pā ma nā wahi a pau, he mau tausani o ka poʻe, a ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke neʻe ... pono ʻoe e pana i ka lehulehu o ka poʻe," wahi āna.
Ua hoʻomanaʻo ʻo Angela Merkel, ke kuhina mua o Kelemania mai ka hikina komunista mua, i ka euphoria ma kahi haʻiʻōlelo i ka pule i hala aku nei i ka US Congress.
"Ma kahi o kahi pā ʻeleʻele wale nō, wehe koke ʻia kahi puka, a hele mākou a pau ma laila: ma nā alanui, i loko o nā hale pule, ma kēlā ʻaoʻao o nā palena," wahi a Merkel. "Ua hāʻawi ʻia i kēlā me kēia kanaka ka manawa e kūkulu i kahi mea hou, e hana i kahi ʻokoʻa, e ʻimi i kahi hoʻomaka hou."
ʻO ka pā i kūkulu ʻia e ka poʻe Komunista ma ke kiʻekiʻe o ke Kaua anuanu a i kū ʻia no 28 mau makahiki ua pau loa. Ke kū nei kekahi mau ʻāpana, ma kahi hale kiʻi kiʻi waho a i ʻole he ʻāpana o ka hale hōʻikeʻike ākea. ʻO kona ala ma ke kūlanakauhale i kēia manawa nā alanui, nā hale kūʻai, a me nā hale hale. ʻO ka mea hoʻomanaʻo hoʻomanaʻo ʻo ia ka moʻo o nā pōhaku i hoʻopili ʻia e ʻike i kona ala.
Ua hoʻoneʻe ʻia ʻo Checkpoint Charlie, ka prefab i lōʻihi i ka hōʻailona o ka noho ʻana o Allied a me ke kaua Cold War, i kahi hale hōʻikeʻike ma ke komohana o Berlin.
ʻO Potsdamer Platz, ke kahua ākea i luku ʻia i ka wā o ke Kaua Honua II a lilo i ʻāina kanaka ʻole i ka wā o ke Kaua Cold, piha i nā hale kūʻai kiʻekiʻe e kūʻai aku ana i nā mea āpau mai nā iPod a i nā bratwursts grilled.
Ma kahi hui ma Berlin i ka lā 31 ʻOkakopa, kū ʻaoʻao ʻo Helmut Kohl, ke kuhina Kelemania nāna i hoʻomalu i ka wehe ʻana o ka pā, me nā peresidena mana nui o ia manawa, ʻo George HW Bush lāua ʻo Mikhail Gorbachev.
Ma hope o nā makahiki he nui o ka hilahila ma hope o ka wā Nazi, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Kohl, ʻo ka hāʻule ʻana o ka Wall Berlin a me ka hui hou ʻana o ko lākou ʻāina he 11 mau mahina ma hope mai ua haʻaheo ka poʻe Kelemania.
"ʻAʻole nui nā kumu i ko mākou moʻolelo e haʻaheo ai," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo Kohl, i kēia manawa he 79. Akā ma ke ʻano he Chancellor, "ʻAʻohe oʻu mea maikaʻi aʻe, ʻaʻohe mea e haʻaheo ai, ma mua o ka hui hou ʻana o Kelemania."
Ma kahi ninaninau ma Moscow me Associated Press Television News, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Gorbachev he mea hoʻoikaika ia no ka maluhia.
"ʻAʻohe mea paʻakikī, hana mākou, ʻike mākou i ka ʻike like ʻole, a neʻe mākou i mua. Ua hoʻomaka mākou e ʻoki i nā mea kaua nuklea, e hōʻemi ana i nā pūʻali koa i ʻEulopa, a me ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i nā pilikia ʻē aʻe, "wahi āna.
Ua hoʻomaka ʻia me ka ʻaha kūkā nūhou o ke ahiahi.
Ma ka lā 9 o Nowemapa, 1989, ua haʻi maʻalahi ʻo Guenter Schabowski, he lālā o ka Politburo e noho aupuni ana ma ka hikina hikina e hiki i nā Kelemania hikina ke hele koke i ke komohana.
Ma hope mai, ua hoʻāʻo ʻo ia e wehewehe i kāna mau ʻōlelo a ʻōlelo ʻo ia e paʻa nā lula hou i ke aumoe, akā ʻoi aku ka wikiwiki o nā hanana i ka laha ʻana o ka ʻōlelo.
Ma kahi kaʻa mamao ma ka hema o Berlin, ua hana ʻo Annemarie Reffert a me kāna kaikamahine 15 makahiki i ka moʻolelo ma o ka lilo ʻana i poʻe Kelemania hikina mua e hele i ka palena.
Hoʻomanaʻo ʻo Reffert, ʻo 66 i kēia manawa, i ka pohō o nā koa Kelemania hikina i kona hoʻāʻo ʻana e hele i ka palena.
"Ua hoʻopaʻapaʻa wau ua ʻōlelo ʻo Schabowski ua ʻae ʻia mākou e hele," wahi āna. Ua ʻae nā koa palena. Haohao kekahi luna dute no ka loaa ole o kana ukana.
"ʻO kā mākou makemake wale nō e ʻike inā hiki iā mākou ke hele," wahi a Reffert.
I nā makahiki ma hope mai, ua haʻi ʻo Schabowski i kahi nīnau nīnau TV ua hui pū ʻo ia. ʻAʻole ia he hoʻoholo akā he kauā kānāwai i hoʻonohonoho ʻia e ka Politburo e kūkākūkā ai. Ua manaʻo ʻo ia he ʻōlelo hoʻoholo i ʻāpono ʻia.
I kēlā pō, ma kahi o ke aumoe, wehe aʻela nā kiaʻi palena i nā ʻīpuka. Ma o Checkpoint Charlie, iho i ka Invalidenstrasse, ma kēlā ʻaoʻao o ke alahaka ʻo Glienicke, he nui ka poʻe i kahe aku i West Berlin, me ka ʻole, ʻaʻole i hoʻopaʻa ʻia, ʻeha nā maka.
He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- At a ceremony in Berlin on October 31, Helmut Kohl, the German chancellor who presided over the opening of the wall, stood side by side with the superpower presidents of the time, George H.
- By midnight, instead of going home, Fugger and three others took a taxi to the Brandenburg Gate, long a no-man’s land, and scaled the 12-foot (nearly four meter) wall with hundreds of others.
- Ua hoʻoneʻe ʻia ʻo Checkpoint Charlie, ka prefab i lōʻihi i ka hōʻailona o ka noho ʻana o Allied a me ke kaua Cold War, i kahi hale hōʻikeʻike ma ke komohana o Berlin.
